NFL DRAFT: Steelers trade fourth round pick to Giants
April 27th, 2008 by Neal CoolongWaiting for details to come out, but the Steelers traded their fourth round pick (No. 123 overall) to the Giants, who selected OLB Bryan Kehl from BYU.
They are listed as having the Giants’ fourth-round pick, No. 130 overall. The only possible offensive tackle options available seem to be right tackles, which the Steelers have plenty of. I know the Steelers have been looking at Auburn’s King Dunlap, but the reviews on him were less-than-optimistic, to put it mildly:
Was very disappointed in this player. Is at best an average worker. Huge but underdeveloped body (lacks core strength). Played with seemingly little tenasity. Lacks power and explosion as a run blocker. Marginal knee bend. Needs to be pushed on and off the field. Passive individual who was questionable to play through pain and injuries. Has little or no chance to play on the left side. 5th to 6th round consideration based on his rare size.
Not that this is what the Steelers say about him, but cripes! Who would want this guy?
Look for Brandon Keith out of Northern Iowa. Jamie Silva is also a possibility, but this pick should be way too high for either of these players.
